Evening Primrose Oil?

I saw this article :

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/hairloss.htm

Anyone tried this stuff, and if so, what are your experiences with it?

I just shaved down for the summer... UGH, I HATE the wigs, but it's gotten there again. Ahhh, the ability to see the progession of hair loss... I noticed my scalp is all RED, not sunburned but I can see where the follicles have shut down and turned that reddish color, like on my legs where some have died. Looks like someone took a red magic marker pen and dotted my scalp with it about a million times. Guess I know what causes the tenderheadedness now LOL...

Was also wondering if any of you have any tips for keeping a wig comfortable in summer? Mine's driving me out of my ****ing MIND!!! LOL

Just wanna hole up in the nice air conditioned house, do my readings all day, (few and far between in summer cause everyone's outside...) but I am also starting a new band, and have GOT to figure out a way to LIVE with this hair loss, not DIE in the house with it

Part of me says just be bald and proud, but we both know in the entertainment industry that is NOT realistic, not for a woman anyway.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
